So just replaced the 2 coolant pipes under the intake manifold and car is running fine but there is a burning toxic oil smell that I cannot place.
I ONLY smell it inside the car when car is in idle, not when it is moving
Smell is not coming from the vent, outside whether it is air/recirculating inside air, as I am smelling the vent air from the AC and it smells clean
It doesnt matter if I have the windows up or down, the smell comes into the car in idle
Smell starts pretty much within minutes of driving
Car temp is good this while time, coolant is good
Its been about 2 weeks not so I am thinking it cant be some spilled oil that is burning off, it should have all burned off already then
No visible smoke anywhere
So I am just confused as to how the smell is coming into my car, and obviously where it is coming from and the cause.
